X=number of corect
y=number of incorrect
5 points for each correct so 5x
-1 point for each incorrect so -y

5x-y=76
solve for x and y

I like putting it into slope intercep tofrm which is y=mx+b
add y to both sides
5x=76+y
subtract 76 from both sides
5x-75=y
y=5x-76

subsitute values for x and get values for y
remember, that julia cannot answer a negative number of incorrect questions so y must be greater than or equal to 0

so solve for minimum
0<u><</u>5x-76
add 76 to both sides
76<u><</u>5x
divide by 5
15.2<u><</u>x
you cannot answer a fraction of a correct quesiton so round up
16 is the minumum number of queswtions correctlyh answered


so
x<u>></u>16

subsitute 16 for x
y=5(16)-76
y=80-76
y=4

as we subsitute more numbers over 16, we get these points
so (x,y) 
(16,4)
(17,9)
(18,14)
(19,19)
(20,24)
(21,29)
(22,34)
(23,39)
x=correct answer
y=wrong answers

10m^2 of tiles cover a pool, the pool is shaped as a square, so all four edges are the same, and the depth is constant but not e
nignag [31]
Assume:

Size of sides = x m
Depth of the pool = y m

Therefore, surface area = x^2+4xy =10 m^2

Then, y = (10-x^2)/(4x)

Now,
Volume (V) = x^2*y = x^2*y =x^2(10-x^2)/4x = (10x-x^3)/4 = 1/4(10x-x^3)
For maximum volume, first derivative of volume function is equal to zero.
That is,
dV/dx =0 = 1/4(10-3x^2)
Then,
1/4(10-3x^2) = 0
10-3x^2 = 0
3x^2=10
x= sqrt (10/3) = 1.826 m
And
y= (10-1.826^2)/(4*1.826) = 0.913 m

Therefore,
V= 1.826^2*0.913 = 3.044 m^3
